Achaari Masala or Pickle spice mix is widely used in north India to make pickles, curry etc. The thought of it itself is mouth-watering! You just have to use your imagination to use this masala. You can even add it to make some achaari tikkas. Some of the dishes from my blog where you can use this masala are – Achaari Arbi Recipe, Achaari Pulao Recipe, Mango Pickle Recipe
I’m sharing an easy recipe to make this spice easily at home. You can store this masala in a cool dry place for up to 3-6 months.
